I have looked around the site but haven't been able to find an answer to:
what is the command line to extract the number of images taken by a Sony Alpha A77 camera.

Very grateful for any help.

TIA

I downloaded an A77 sample from https://raw.pixls.us/ and took a look.  It had ImageCount and ImageCount3 but the numbers were not in sync.  So you can try ImageCount tags, but they may not be totally accurate.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Many thanks. I tried the tags suggested, and finally discovered that they work on .arw files but not on .jpg!
